In this tutorial, I put Base-44—an $80M no-code AI app builder acquired by Wix—to the test by building a mini Skool–style community platform from scratch. You’ll see how Base-44 instantly wires up your backend (no manual Supabase setup!), scaffolds your data models, and lets you scaffold core features—courses, lessons, discussion threads, progress tracking, and certificates—in minutes with just text prompts and screenshots.
Try Base44 out and let me know what you think: https://base44.com/?via=frank-nillard
